which gas law is confirmed?

A

Boyle’s Law

25
Q

If a sealed gas container is heated at
constant volume, how does pressure change
(kinetic molecular theory and Charles’s
Law)?

A

Pressure increases due to faster, more
forceful particle collisions.

26
Q

If gas volume decreases at constant
temperature, what happens to pressure
(Boyle’s Law)?

A

Pressure increases due to more frequent
collisions.

27
